on transformers
transmitting voltage
to service drops
carrying current
through a frayed cord
behind the toaster
in my kitchen.

For Fireblossom Friday in the Imaginary Garden, riffing off The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams.

    Oh yes, access to fast carbs can be the difference between a good day and a morning of moaning when you have two teens in the house who are late for school but hungry.
